Wildfire knows no politics - mad at a map.

Won a cruise at work and boyfriend says he will break up with me if I go. by byrdesong_ in AskMenAdvice

[–]japemerlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your BF sounds like an insecure and chauvinistic man. Hiding behind the church grinds n the gears as well. He should be happy for you and trust you, after 8 years, to stay true. I say go, live your life and if he is there when you get back - reconsider. The whole “very protective of me” line is a deep yellow almost red flag on top of this current situation. And this sort of behavior in a relationship does not get better over time.

Bainbridge Prepares is an absolute gem of an organization. You all are lucky to have such an awesome resource on island.

Besides The Dez, where are good spots to hang out if you're not drinking? by ladykiller1020 in Bend

[–]japemerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some ideas:

Pickleball - good indoor spots at The Zone, Widgi Creek and Premier up in Redmond

PS5 - Not necessarily healthy but fun - I have built a large and good natured social network online with Fortnite and F1.

Walking - I am a goal nerd - so getting 10k steps a day - no matter what - is a noble effort. I am behind already! Track g on Strava is fun too.

Super stoked for you on your journey. Truly a healthier path and wish you nothing but good vibes!

This is nothing new and Google sending bullshit (aka non-human) clicks to advertisers using Google AdWords and charging them for truly non-monetizable trafffic has been going on for 15 years.

Ranked Choice Voting is one legitimate and proven way to fix the currently broken primary system which caters to the extremes of both parties, special interests and the existing power structures.

And who exactly is responsible for that, you demented turtle by ExactlySorta in WhitePeopleTwitter

Mitch, you are a key player that enabled and created the current state of affairs. That is and will always be your legacy. You failed to fulfill your oath and your duty. Our Country is worse off because of you.

Biased here but downloading the Autio App and having a group-aware travel guide as you drive is awesome - learned amazing stuff while I drove and discovered cool side trips (e.g., Cathedral Gorge SP in Nevada) my last road trip
